MicroRNA‐205–directed transcriptional activation of tumor suppressor genes in prostate cancer

Abstract: Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that regulate the expression of approximately 30% of all human genes. They play important roles in numerous cellular processes including development, proliferation, and apoptosis. It is currently believed that miRNAs elicit their effect by silencing the expression of target genes. Here we show that microRNA-205 (miR-205) induces the expression of IL24 and IL32 tumor suppressor genes by targeting specific sites in their promoters. Methods Methods used in … Show more

“…Here, we used qRT-PCR to profile the expression of miR-205 in PCa and non-cancerous tissues. Consistent with previous studies, 16,17 we demonstrated that the expression of miR-205 in PCa tissues was down-regulated when compared with non-cancerous tissues (Figure 1b). Furthermore, miR-205 was shown to be downregulated in advanced-stage PCa in our studies (Figure 1a and 1b) and to be down-regulated in metastatic PCa.…”

“…[11][12][13][14][15] In addition, miR-205 has been shown to activate IL24 and IL32 by targeting sites on their promoters. 16 In PCa, miR-205 exerts a tumorsuppressive effect by counteracting the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and reducing cell migration/invasion, in part through the down-regulation of protein kinase C epsilon. 17 In this study, we analysed miR-205 expression in advanced and early PCa tissues among Chinese patients using a quantitative real-time PCR assay.…”

“…Additional targets of miR-205 identified in other tissue types have not been validated in breast cancer. [83][84][85][86] Likely, miR-205 plays a role in specific pathways in tumorigenesis and tumor progression in a cell type-specific manner.…”

“…This miRNA was the most strongly downregulated miRNA in PCa compared with NAP and its expression is completely abolished in metastatic lymph node and malignant TURP samples. It has been suggested that the tumorsuppressive function of miR-205 takes place through counteracting epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and reducing cell migration and invasion in the human prostate (Gandellini et al, 2009;Majid et al, 2010). K27me3 modifications of the miR-205 locus was reported to occur in the PCa cell line PC3 (Ke et al, 2009) and in muscle-invasive bladder tumors and undifferentiated bladder cell lines (Wiklund et al, 2010).…”
